I am trying to add a few buttons(with appropriate signal handlers) to the default FileSelection widget. i first created a window, then the required buttons, & then i used a container. i added the buttons to it & the fileselection widget too. it didn't work. the program compiled, but in the output, 1.a window : with the button & empty space that should be sufficient for fileselection widget & 2.the fileselection widget, separated from this window were displayed. how to modify the default fileselection widget??? anubody knows? -chaitanya. _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
